As I approach the last couple of chapters in this book and leave the technical, procedural material behind, I am left with ideas on how to actually get started. I’m glad I decided to read this book, because I’ve learned so much from it. Although it’s about 35 years old, many of the components used today are virtually the same in function now as they were then (with a few exceptions, especially the tape recorder). The next chapters are about form and notation, and the history of electronic music, so there aren’t going to be many procedures from now on. I’m relieved.

Josh,
ReplyDeleteWhat are some of your ideas on how to get started? Do you think you will keep this book to refer to, or did it just satisfy an interest? I imagine you must enjoy the parts on form and notation, since you enjoyed the philosophical bits at the beginning so much. How would you make this book better? How would you update it?
